oh, a 13000000000, not a or to go we use and i made it salem, but i senior chaslek old and i wish it was vocal more of neat and clean. so keep, i keep them up a quote, as of course, the thing is either the information marquee on when i was children, medi medicare for this whole, you can throw this up here. but i think aconia is going to get a better puzzle. now, other key for table, pres watson's nvg or their voice. i big a box, you open up with somebody about a fire that keep your payment for gold. and i, yes and from may do math until

a gina i don't home on bad plastic currency to deal with because of the game. be wild immanuel good for the dickies off. i'm the i'm, i was looking at this came, america wife has to go buy, found it your cheerios, amazon. i saw a van or capitol childris pro corda in elusive chantelle 3 feet, assuming a new modem which seemed oh, the kind of liberal agenda we see in the west now is not really, really based. but it's kind of ways i religious creed and our child to crowd out to all sorts of realistic, practical objections to that vision of creating

a kind of city on the hill on, ah ah, the proportion of people age is 60 years and over in the world will double from 11 to 22 percent 40 years 2050. so many countries have seen this is a worthy challenge and are creating at various ways to properly care for their aging population. while others continue to not see this as a priority will compared to the other parts of society for demand and resources, i'm going to use it on this up. so up $360.00 view, we're going to look at the various a global elderly care system. the probably an existence and why some of the higher income countries are refusing to accurately address the problem. let's get started . ah.

well, quality of life is improving and medical care continuing to advance is a goal worth achieving. the growing number of an aging population is creating a new challenges on society. now countries have various ways of handling the care of their elderly. and while some are rising to the challenge, others are letting down their aging population. and surprisingly, it is some of the most advanced 1st world countries who seem to be facing a crisis in their elderly care system. and depending on who they're talking to as to whether the fault is on the government or society itself. now norway, sweden, in switzerland, or city high standard with 100 percent pension coverage, as well as accommodation by public transport, and great in home care incentives for families. meanwhile, countryside united states find themselves pushing elderly into residences with care

insurance, being mainly privatized by large companies. now, canada, who has, over the last decades since more funds and to drugs and hospitals, has now promised to spend $6000000000.00 over the next decade to address their aging population money they plan to raise from taxes. but ultimately, the question for our country to decide is whether the best interest for their aging population is for care to be provided from within the family of our residential care and nursing house. we are joined now by josephine karate, a broadcast journalist and media trader based in kenya. welcome and thank you for joining us. you know, doesn't mean the world health organization has had the number of seniors age 65 and above could reach 1500000000 in the year 2050. in that year, the number of elderly will go more significant than the population of children. now one of the main reasons is medical advances, increasing life expectancy. so what are the main differences?

do you see between elder care and western versus other societies? thank you so much for that question. maybe i need to start on a bucket drop of the k, no situation according to the can population 2019 report that was done in august 2019. the can and population of the current moment stands out for the 7000000 kingdoms. and the elderly of $65.00 and above about 6 percent of the total population, which is basically translate to about $1800000.00 of elderly people. there are more women than men in this category because across the board, there are more women than men in society. best coming and then of course the other thing is but the life expectancy of men in kenya is know of them back to women

by about 5 years. but so yes, the elder care in kenya is not like in the west where families tech, they are old people to home smashing homes basically because of our culture and our traditions, the old people or the people living in the neighborhoods in their communities. taken care of by their grandchildren, by our sons and daughters. so i don't see about changing very much soon. so that is where we are at the moment. we will be living with our old people in the community. every young people move out and go out to move for walk, they will just have to get them a hand to help or patch them up with the other family members who are living within the community. i'm wondering about how it seems like in kenyan families,

are kept. close elders, are kept in the family home and close to family, rather than putting into nursing homes. are there nursing homes in kenya? first off, and what would make a family choose to put their, their elder in a nursing home rather than keep them in the house. okay, maybe what we need to know is, but they are no really provisions for those nursing homes. and i was setups as our community, the african african living, extended family, community care. we do not have that structure. we're having massive homes for they all dirty, been full people to be taken care of. people can cattle from their home, from their children, home, from their households. collectively by glad children or by bad sons and daughters and ad, the house pamphlet, handhelds gotten by the funding. so my idea, or having all the people being put into homes as a really know to come into there for you will still leave with you are all parents

. and if you are not able to live with them, because maybe of moved out to loop or green a bus, or maybe you out, but you are past or something. these are weighed, they some kind of continued to where you get a handheld to help these old people they know at the place to take them as it was. how accommodating is a government when it comes to this? do they give it special motives, special incentive, special understandings to families if they are taking care of their page? if they're taking care of their patriarch or their matriarch? when it is expensive? yes, and government does support the old people. it is, it is provided for in government, social protection spaces. they get some little amount of money to for their upkeep. something like 2000 kenyon shillings that is like when

she that is like $20.00. $20.00. you know, no, not $20.00 like $200.00 per household or an elderly bathroom. and what happens is that they households out of mopped through the chiefs. it is known that being 2 or 3 elder people in these household, so bad documented and they are actually stand also a suspension given to why not able children all funds back to i'm not when, but you done by the government. the money is very me, guy. it's may not be enough, but the expectations are the family should also cheap enough help about all the older people in the household. you know, i understand the elder is always the patriarch or the matriarch of the household. and what that says goes,

does that still go when the parents are living with their adult children? do they still have that position of hierarchy over their children who are also adults themselves? another thing that happens in african society not only to carry you know, but most homes, but rockhill latino, the societies. but she'll kill the men, have they say in the society. and sometimes you find that the household or these home have polygamy in them. you may find an old man has 2 or 3 wives, but basically they, they hold deep by the one the head of the whole. so it's like men have a higher hand or an advantage over how their lives. i lived with the community more than that, women. and another thing is that should a man that in the household that women may remain widows and may not

say as he mighty, because basically most windows down to the mighty. but men do marry, should you be having one wife and your wife buses, or even at the very ones the most men with mighty because they the society or they are feeling is that the man cannot leave alone. they have to get the woman with them. so then it so happens that most households appeal, they are the men call the shots. so women, more like subdued. but interestingly, it's women who keep their homes going. that the backbone, they're the ones who walk. they're the ones who bought that we've been children. most times more than even 5 as a man. you know, i'm really curious talking with you on this because is this how it's always been or have you seen culture and society change in any way from your grandparents

generation to what you're seeing currently in the present? i mean, are you seeing society and pop culture affecting this sort of relationship? yes, i think growing up, i think that's how soon it happened. nothing much as the culture traditions deeply embedded in societies. the way people have been socialized away. socialization has taken place really nothing much as jane does this, that as cool as not been chicken so much. so this is how it, i've been, i'm busy, i'm seeing it going. i don't know whether a very soon or late april chain, but that to how it does be in for, but the left is being handed down from generation to generation with very little variations. maybe depending on the set up in different households. are very, very interesting. josephine thank you so much for chatting. whether it's please

stay with us because we're going to be right back and want to continue this conversation about global elder care with our guest stated, ah huh. ah ah, ah ah ah ah

. with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15th century, there appeared atlantic slave dre. the slave traders from european countries started building forth on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had played the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america,

there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organisation of united nations classifies the trans atlantic slave trade as one of the gravest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind. ah, ah, during the 2nd world war in nazi occupied, poland, virginia was a farming region. today is part of ukraine between 943 and 945 members of the ukrainian insurgent army led by upon bandera. nasa could thousands of poles in

virginia in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process. the mergers were particularly horrific and brutal villages were burned and property looted. the valinda masika is without doubt one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. why are ukrainian politicians still reluctant to talk about these events? how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past? and why does the memory of belinda soon divide people oh, welcome back. we are joined at once again by a broadcast journalist just to think ronnie, out of kenya. now she is it joined us talking about elder care throughout the world . thank you so much for joining us. josephine. thank you. and the previous segment we talked about society and culture causing potential changes within the structure of the family. do you think this is also changing with employment opportunities

that might be coming up within society? thank you so much for that question. yes, i'm talking about elder care. oh, globally, i'm ma. so no come yet home. as african culture, we embedded in extended family through culture and socialization over the years. so really not much has changed. so in my view, we have continued handing over generations on how we handle all the people, how we take care of them, how we live, we live within the community. and really we don't find it easy to let them go into nursing homes or even out of our site. we live with them within our setups. and if it so happens that these nobody left or take care of them,

then these are weighed. but the family comes together and looks for how hand him to help these old people. but they're not relinquished out to bear to our common children. i mean, our common massie more, more harmful there, then there is no provision for that in our local setups. and really, i don't know, maybe that will change with time. and maybe there some few, many more elderly homes. but in most times, people live with their old people within the community. do you have very much transitioning happening within kenyon families as young people finish school and they go up to get jobs? do they usually move away from the home, maybe to more urban areas and in those situations, do they come back home when it's time to care for their parents? most times what happens, these young people, we leave the home to go out and look for jobs in the cities in downtown south,

in the neighborhoods. but the fact that to that happens is they're still tied to the community a scenario east, the base of family, home base, a father, probably these are my them, their children. once they grow, they will move to their households. and these parents will be left within their home the 2 of them, or 3 of them depending if a man has more than 2 wines. but the young people and they are children with state of feel, but they need to take care of them. they're still feeling depth and because society expects you to do that kind of che expects you to do that. traditional expects you to do that. you cannot abandon your old people because that is how you have been socialized. that's how you live. don't boone to in africa, is here to stay and you have to really take kill the old people and provide for them where you come. what happens when the parents start to have issues of dementia

or other health issues, mental illness. how is that handled? are they able to stay in the home? oh them i think when that happens, like any, any conflict, basic problem because then in some instances, some of my old people with south class, some of them will be desolate. i'm may be run into problems bad. they're both issues but to the community and administration normally deals with their issues like that. maybe these i guess like laps, but she wouldn't be involved on maybe they would come and mitigate within the household or in that home where these that problem. but ne basil the report that these on the shoe in i sat on home on may be that made present come on help on the community. would it be bad that your brother, skipper,

they watch out for each other. it's interesting. you talked about how there is money that is provided for, for keeping the elderly in your home that's helped to support it. are there other government structures, other may be even n g o says step in for support. you know, we're finding here in the united states. cities increasingly are producing laws such as the pay parent act where people are paid. if they have to take off work, an employee can take up to 3 months off of work and be paid while they have to care for an elder. is there any serve that equivalent in kenya? ok, there are many ways, but the government on the community comes into our seats, the elder and maybe i should just talk about it. and then government provisions fast. this social protection funds, which the government and makes use to give their own people. one document that through their norco lead, as the chiefs would document any old people, one over 65 years and who need to help. and most times they were dealing with the

cases of, well they do an odd detail about whom they see whether that home has said children or, or other members of the family, lou able to take care of those old people if they find that they the cases are pathetic, then they will deliver those old people for them to get some support. actually, you'll get about 2000 shillings a month, which is about $20.00 for assistance for the old people. that is, our government filed that has been passed by the by parliament, and it's normally distributed by the chiefs and their local administration. both that have records of the old people. in other instances, they old people, those who are retired. remember that everybody gets older, you may have been a public servant in your duties. and when you retired, 60 years based pension for you to,

for you to carry on with your life. and so you are able to be paid and they continue having a leg and then the other interventions medical probably we have the national hospital insurance fun where you can register. anybody who needs help are for hospital funding. and you get to the doctor about a $5.00 a month every month for you to be able to access any services in the hospital once you are sick and you are hospitalized. that is another way the government has come in. and then for other issues like people who are public, savannah, so our state of the size and even individuals, laser friend, which you wanted beauty to, ah, called maximo social security fund. and once you are out over employment,

then you out this money sent to you. so that you are able to use it because it's like it was, you are savings for the period when you walk in as a public sub. and so those are some of the dimensions. but the government does that . but all schools on behind the base is a private insurance. you can have private insurance or from the different organizations or the different insurance companies. if you are known to pass on you or children can get you insurance for you so that when you are sick, you able to be attendance from. so there are many dimensions through the government . i'm through a private sector that tries to help and continue to old people's lives. that's amazing. that's really, really good and josephine. i want to thank you so much for joining us from kenya. you're broadcast, journalist, me a trainer and obviously very knowledgeable, and how the elders are treated with the new york country. and i really thank you for sharing your expertise. thank you so much for the opportunity.

this is an issue very dear to my heart as my own family is struggling with how best to care for our elders is a picture of my family. and while there are multiple challenges every day, there's always been given that my mother and father would share in our home when the time came. as an only child, this is something sometimes not been easy, but i know i'm doing the right thing out of respect and love for everything. my parents have given to me. it was the same thing that my mother did for her parents, as well as her aunt who was able to have children. she modeled to me that this was how our family handled the care of our eldest generation. there are some extremely rewarding about having those who have already experienced so much life share insights with the next generation. i'm greatly saddened by how my own government has not made it a priority to incentivize families to give as much care as possible in their own home. rather for those families who might not have the economic resources, they are almost forced to put their loved ones in

a group home. sometimes these group homes are understaffed, and the resources provided to both the caregivers and the patients are extremely limited. i do believe this is a result of america being such a new country as evidenced by those families from other cultures who come to america, still preserved their tradition of carrying in house for their elders. bravo to all of those countries around the world who try everything they can't to invest in the family from the old. it's to the youngest, as each plays a very important role. and i do believe it isn't the best investment for societies future success. it has been year 360 view. thank you. thanks for watching the ah, ah

. in time i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to plead with you whatever you do, you do not watch my new shell. seriously. why watch something that's so different. my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else. work of it please. i do have the state department, the cia weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't watch my show, stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again,

you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way ah, well, terribly and not afford to go. we use and i made a gift salem, but ideally chaslek knowledge was focal more of neat and clean. so keep, i keep them up a quote as requested. getting the, the, the fee for me from all to you all on when i was children ready and i have medicare for this, or you can throw this up here. but i keep getting a call when you get a bunch of people. now the key for table transit watson is indeed a big mush. that is in the books. you will please send me about a fire panel for gold i ally from

a do not need the sided. so genia don't come on by the currency to deal with. cuz of the game, be wild immanuel good for the dickies outlook. i was on the way to waste oil by fabrics in your cheerios. i was on monday saw vanda capital children. i spoke with alyssa shantell assuming in the margin which single oh, the kind of liberal agenda we see, the west now is not really, really based, but it's a kind of ways i religious creed. and they are trying to crowd out to all sorts of realistic, practical objections to that vision of creating and kind of city on the

hill on, ah ah, the u. s. escalates the ukrainian conflict and pursued its own agenda while undermining beijing. proposed peace plan. that's from china's foreign minister at the major political event called the 2 sessions. russia has sent 20000 tons of fertilizer to malawi as a part of moscow's plan to combat hunger by providing essential goods to developing nations. also ahead and serbia antennas. 8th, no, but yoko which is denied entry to the u. s. a.
